Newspaper cites coach’s ‘bullsh** and laziness’ as reasons for lack of stats, then fires reporter

There are some significant advantages to publishing news online as opposed to hard, paper form; most importantly, when a writer makes a mistake, they can quickly fix that error online. That's not the case in print, a factor which has rarely been more evident than in a recent report from a local newspaper in Louisiana, which may have ruined the paper's relationship with one high school coach and subsequently did cost one reporter his job.

Clearly, the reporter in question -- who we later learned was a fellow by the name of Kade Seibold -- entered an inflammatory expletive and cited laziness in his filler text as a joke, and never intended it to be published. Or at least we hope it was all intended as a joke. Still, the fact that the dummy text was eventually published didn't mean anything good for his immediate future.

For his part, Seibold claims he is now trying to get his job back and redeem himself in print. Good luck to him, as any mistake that obvious really probably isn't worth the end of a career, at least as far as Prep Rally is concerned.
